Amigo's and Amiga's,

Now it's the time we have been waiting for. The Pitch is
perfect, the weather is perfect, the restaurants and pubs
surrounding the field are full with people enjoying the food
and beers outside. We can enjoy our favorite game while our
friends, wives and children are watching. This year a load
of new talents were born as the SPL is a strong breed and is
expanding very fast !

We had two games plus the formula 1 last Sunday !

ERS - Lions 1-3 Lions blamed it on the nice weather as they
started without any conviction. Soon they were punished as
Yannick managed to slice through the Lions mid-field +
defense and had no problem with the goalie. 1-0 half time.
Lions knew they needed a win to stay on top so they came out
stronger and equalized 1-1. Ten minutes before the end the
turning point turned out to be a deflected "lucky" goal plus
a quick goal there after.

Japan - Super 48 3-0 It looked like a J-League game and both
teams brought many supporters. First half was 0-0 and Super
48 started to celebrate already, however Japan claimed that
they fielded only over 40 players the first half. Don’t
think we can accept that excuse as the second half they put
their under 30 team and only managed 3 goals !

So we will hide some eggs at the field this coming Easter
Sunday and please do come and watch our games !

10.00 AM Galacticos - Hawks

12.00 PM Japan - Flamenkos

14.00 PM HDN - Lions

One Note to the Captains ! From now on we will and can not
approve any postponements anymore as we are running towards
the end of the season and the school closes early this year
! Pls keep in mind !

Happy Easter in Shanghai !

Cheers Freek / SPL President on behalf of the SPL Committee
!
